Deadly Director’s Cut by Vicki Delany | Book Review

Nov. 24, 2025

This is the second book in the Catskill Summer Resort Mysteries, and although it’s my first time reading Vicki Delany’s series, I had no trouble jumping right into the drama of Haggerman’s Resort. Elizabeth, the ever-capable resort manager, is once again juggling demanding guests, unpredictable staff, and—this time—a full film production taking over the grounds….

Forced Proximity by Lani Lynn Vale Book Review

Forced Proximity by Lani Lynn Vale | Book Review

Nov. 04, 2025

From the first page, I knew this book would wreck me in the best possible way. It’s deeply emotional, breathtakingly romantic, and layered with that signature Lani Lynn Vale mix of grit, heart, and humor. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. The main character—who’s…

The Little French Bookshop by Cecile Pivot | Book Review

Oct. 28, 2025

I really wanted to love this book. As soon as I saw the premise—a bookshop owner starting a letter-writing workshop to bring people together—I thought it sounded like the perfect cozy, heartfelt read. The idea of finding community through letters, especially after loss, is such a beautiful one. Unfortunately, while the concept is wonderful, the…

Woden's Storm by Donovan Cook Book Review

Woden’s Storm by Donovan Cook | Book Review

Oct. 25, 2025

This is the first book I’ve read in this series, and while Woden’s Storm is technically the second installment, I found it engaging and easy enough to follow on its own. The story wastes no time in pulling readers into the complex interplay between men and gods, belief and power, and the constantly changing political…

HOLIDAY UNSCRIPTED by Natasha Madison Book Review

Holiday Unscripted by Natasha Madison | Book Review

Oct. 24, 2025

I had the best time with this book! It’s everything I want in a cozy, feel-good holiday romance—sharp banter, emotional depth, and chemistry that practically jumps off the page. From the very first chapter, I was smiling like an idiot and didn’t stop until I reached the last page. Elizabeth returns home for her brother’s…

War Lord: Scourge of Rome by Adam Lofthouse | Book Review

Oct. 23, 2025

This is the third and final installment in Adam Lofthouse’s series, and though it’s the only one I’ve read so far, I was hooked from the very first page. The book throws you straight into the action—no time wasted on gentle introductions—and somehow that works perfectly for Alaric, the lovable troublemaker at the heart of…

CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET? Moon of Secr CAN YOU KEEP HER SUPERNATURAL SECRET?
Moon of Secrets by Brenda Trim and Tia Didmon is now live!!
 
https://geni.us/MoonofSecrets
 
To stop the darkness, I must walk among the enemy
 
Going undercover in a rival wolf pack wasn't part of the plan, but it's the only way to uncover their true motives. With a false identity and a carefully spun lie, I slip into their hidden community, only to learn the truth is far more dangerous than I imagined.
 
These wolves aren't evil. They're being used. Manipulated by an ancient entity that feeds on shifter energy, one bent on harnessing enough power to permanently darken the moon. If it succeeds, every wolf shifter will gain unstoppable strength, at the cost of our humanity.
 
As suspicion sharpens around me, I lean on Eve's spells to mask my identity and Salima's guidance to reach my allies on the outside. Time is running out, the lunar ritual draws near, and I'm walking a razor's edge between exposure and survival.
 
Because saving the city isn't enough this time. I have to save them, even if they tear me apart for the truth.
 
Find out what lurks in the shadows of Ravenholde by reading Moon of Secrets, the Paranormal Women's Fiction series readers are comparing to Shannon Mayer, K.F. Breene, and Victoria Dannan.

I blame getting pregnant on my sister getting mauled by a bear.
If she hadn’t been attacked that day, I wouldn’t have come home to check on her. I wouldn’t have run
into Boone Windsor at that bar. I wouldn’t have gone home with him, ready to drown my sorrows in a
different, more satisfying way.
I wouldn’t have given him that second chance.
Not after he’d so badly burned the first chance.
I would’ve gone back to work half the country away, and I would’ve kept my head in the sand where
Boone was involved.
But my sister did get attacked. I did give Boone a second chance.
And I almost died because of it.
After my memories are lost in an accident that almost takes both of our lives, Boone makes me fall in
love with him all over again.
And since I didn’t know all the hell that awaited me, I didn’t guard my heart.
I fell, and fell, and fell until there was nowhere else to go but down.
Then, when those memories come back and I’m faced with the consequences of my actions, I didn’t
falter.
I knew he was hell, yet I chose to burn with him anyway.
